Hanger

A clothes hanger, or coat hanger, is a device in the shape of:

Human shoulders designed to facilitate the hanging of a coat, jacket, sweater, shirt, blouse or dress in a manner that prevents wrinkles, with a lower bar for the hanging of trousers or skirts.

Clamp for the hanging of trousers, skirts, or kilts. Both type can be combined in a single hanger. Properly hung, clothes will keep their shape and look fresh, without wrinkles, creases or torn seams.

Types of Hanger

1.Wire Hanger: Which has a simple loop of wire, most often steel, in a flattened triangle shape that continues into a hook at the top. 

2. Wooden Hanger: The second is the wooden hanger, which consists of a flat piece of wood cut into a boomerang-like shape with the edges sanded down to prevent damage to the clothing, and a hook, usually of metal, protruding from the point.

3.Plastic Coat Hanger: The third kind and most used in today's world are plastic coat hangers, which mostly mimic the shape of either a wire or wooden hanger. Plastic coat hangers are also produced in smaller sizes to accommodate the shapes of children's clothes.

Specialty hangers:  It can include smaller hangers for children’s clothing, as well as satin-lined and padded hangers for lingerie and other delicate garments, and round hangers for bikinis.

Collar insert

Collar insert (sometimes known as collar sticks, bones, knuckles or tabs and in the UK, collar stiffeners) are shirt accessories.

 The insert ensure that the collar lies flat against the collarbone, looking crisp and remaining in the correct place. Often shirts come with plastic insert which may eventually need to be replaced if they bend; metal replacements don't have this problem. Collar stays can be found in haberdashers, fabric- and sewing-supply stores and men's clothing stores.

Collar stays should be removed from shirts before dry cleaning or pressing, but then should always be put back by the dry cleaning company. Shirts that are press ironed with the collar insert are vulnerable to damage. Pressing with the collar insert in place results in a telltale impression of the collar insert in the fabric of the collar. Some shirts have insert which are sewn into the collar and aren't removable. This is the purpose of the small hole in the rounded end of the insert, the pointed end is often put in place against the corner of the collar and other end anchored by the small hole.

 Composition:

Collar inserts are smooth, rigid strips of metal (such as brass, stainless steel, or sterling silver), horn, baleen, mother of pearl, or plastic, rounded at one end and pointed at the other, inserted into specially made pockets on the underside of a man's shirt collar to stabilize the collar’s points.
